Obviously, the people in her district either have no other good choices or are dumber than she is.

As far as no better choices goes, I think most republicans can relate to that after the 2012 GOP presidential primaries.

Waters has been around for decades. I will never forget her, right after the beating of Reginald Denny in 1992, as the fires were being lit in LA. She was on 93.1 FM The Beat (now defunct) telling young black men not to go out together in cars that night, only one per car, or else the police would pick them up. What Waters did not know was that Daryl Gates had pulled LAPD out of South Central that night, for fear the police would be killed, which is why the fire companies did not go there to stop the fires. As usual, Waters was absolutely clueless.

But she's been an incumbent so long that she can't lose, even though much of her district is now Hispanic.

She, along with the rest of the congressional black caucus(is there a congressional white caucus?) wrote a letter to Fidel Castro asking him to fight extradition of escaped convict and convicted cop killer Joanne Chesimard. Waters belongs to that segment of the black community that thinks that blacks should be allowed to commit crimes because of slavery.
